Cru Bourgeois – A Mark of Excellence

The "Cru Bourgeois" classification has its roots in the Middle Ages when the Bourgeois of Bordeaux acquired the finest lands in the region. This designation, now a hallmark of quality, signifies the aristocracy of terroirs and the expertise behind winemaking. Château Moulin à Vent stands out as one of the few wineries in the AOC Moulis-en-Médoc, proudly operated entirely by women.

Empowered Female Winemakers

The dedicated team at Château Moulin à Vent is composed entirely of women. Reine serves as the Technical Manager, Florence oversees administration, and Pilar Jimenez manages vineyard operations. Together, they ensure the winery's success and uphold its rich heritage.

The Significance of Terroir and Grape Varieties

With a history spanning over two centuries, Château Moulin à Vent features a charming chartreuse dating back to the early 19th century and a winery established in 1873. The terroir consists of Garonne gravel and clay-limestone, which supports the optimal maturation of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. This unique combination results in wines that are powerful, elegant, and full of character.

Here you can also do a small wine tasting in the shop until 2 p.m. without making a reservation. It was very nice and we also bought some delicious red wine from the region.

We received a very warm welcome from a charming young man who explained all the subtleties of the different knives to us very well. Many thanks to him.

Incredible experience overall, well-rounded just like their wines!!!!!! Great, easy accessible parking. Gorgeous estate with spectacular views of the Windmill where they have some hectares surrounding it. Extensive viticulture knowledge provided by Tiffany, even though she just started working at this location 6 months ago, great job!!! (She also emails back so fast, which was helpful) Love the dog, Tocai(Tokaj)! Beautiful, elegant tasting room. An excellent location for a venue as well, I believe they have an annual jazz festival which sounds really fun. Thank you thank you thank you for having me! Left with several bottles because the wines, wow, such a great nose and also long complex flavors. Made me so happy being there (even though I visited in January, so cold and wintery) but Tiffany and the wines really bring some sunshine to your life, stomach and heart! 🥰💗🙌🏽😊

Tiffany was so accommodating and gave us a tour of the property and beautiful wines of Moulin-a-vent. She was so informative and passionate about the history there. We highly recommend scheduling a tasting here. You’ll definitely end up coming home with some incredible wines.
